Sirrup protection

[Joystyx]

Thanks for all your answers, guys, you rock ! Excalibur indeed has a great community

I'll give it a try with the Line-X.

i used that plasti-dip and it goes on very very thin each coat and comes off super easy....i put it on some alum R/C tool handles for better non-slip grip and i used 6 coats to get a nice thick coverage ....in a high wear area like a xbow stirrup it will come of after 1st use is my bet.........bob

FYI, here is the answer of the local Line-X dealership :

"Applying Line-x to your crossbow stirrup should be possible, I anticipate the the job falling into our minimum shop charge ($89) price range.

If it's convenient, you can drop off the stirrup and pick up the following day. "

I use cloth camo tape

Like I said earlier, I used the stuff that rolls on with a roller that's made out of some strands of woven stuff. It's held up being beat pretty good on my 4 wheeler and at a fraction of the cost of a professional job. I'm thinking less than $30. There's enough in the can to do a pile of them. I think it's a quart can. The spray cans look like junk. My 2cents : )

Camo Duct tape.

A 4"piece fuel hose with a slit cut along it will push over the end of the stirup to protect it, and will quieten the bow down too.

Dam, now we have to come to your house and "shoot a Roo"! LOL

[flightattendant100]

Doesnt that kangaroo leather make your x-bow jump around while you are trying to shoot it?

[Boo]

Probably has a pocket up front. I wonder if Frank uses Koala fur?

[Turtleman]

I use camo form wrap. I have used it for years and don't have a scratch on my stirrup. This stuff is like an ace bandage and only adheres to itself and will not leave a sticky residue. You can get it out Cabela's or online. You cannot beat it!!

[Joystyx]

I like the leather idea. I'm going to give it a shot with some heavy calf hide.

EDIT : in the meantime, it's Camo Duck Tape !

That's to bad the shop fee is that much! I would see if they could work it in following a job or work order. It would only take maybe 4oz of part A&B to cover the Stirrup.
I'm involved in making the material for Line-X. That's a great idea this is the way I might approach it.
I would take Limbsaver Insulator Strips apply them to the outside sides, not the bottom of the stirrup for vibration purposes,
then have the stirrup sprayed. Just might work? Anyone know a good patent lawyer?
